billy works at a university library, and enjoys watching the love-hate-joy-privelege that unfolds there most every day. "don't take those pills," pleads the boyfriend, but she needs to study, and seems to have already made up her mind (we're sure she'll be fine). as you can see, it's a bloody business.

he made 4 albums with his old band madder rose (three of which were good), and a bunch of others, too. he has also recently completed a novel and has published a few short stories (see writing section). he likes going to the salvation army to buy other people's paintings, so that he can paint over them. he has a 15 year old son who drew the "daddy" pictures scattered throughout this site, in imitation of a younger, deranged child (he hopes).

billy still likes to play the guitar and wonderful, synthetic pianos that sound like wasps in jello. he records songs alone and with others that occasionally get placed here or there. These songs seem to get increasingly transparent. sometimes he wonders why.
